Datura (Jimsonweed)

Datura, commonly known as Jimsonweed, is a tall, leafy plant with trumpet-shaped flowers and spiky seed pods. It contains potent alkaloids like atropine, scopolamine, and hyoscyamine, which can cause hallucinations, delirium, and confusion if ingested or touched. While it has been used historically in traditional medicine and spiritual rituals, it is highly toxic and can be deadly if misused. The plant’s effects are unpredictable, and even small amounts can lead to serious health issues. Because of its dangers, handling or consuming Datura is strongly discouraged without expert guidance.
